He told Sky Sports News: "I did not speak with him but I know Cesc is 100 per cent here.

"He loves Barcelona, he loves the club. He will stay here next season and give 100 per cent because I know him very well and he'll want to fight. He's focused on the club.

"He wants just to give his best for Barcelona. He's from Barcelona, he loves Barcelona and he'll want to start the season to show what he can do.

"People are talking and talking, but we know he is focused here and ready to start the season. He's enjoying a holiday with his family and I'm sure he wants just to come back here.

"It's my own opinion but I know he will stay here, 100 per cent."

Elsewhere at United, Robin van Persie was substituted during United's 3-2 defeat to Yokohama F Marinos on Tuesday through injury but Moyes believes he will be ready to feature in the club's next game of their pre-season tour of the Far East against Cerezo Osaka.

Moyes also revealed that Wayne Rooney is right on schedule to link up with United for their friendly clash with AIK in Stockholm on August 6, despite speculation linking the striker with a move to Arsenal or Chelsea.

"Wayne is running and at the level we thought he'd be at. He'll step that up this week," Moyes added.

"Robin was a precaution the other night. I expect he and [Danny] Welbeck to both play [on Friday].

"Carrick had a tight groin and is doing better but probably won't feature. He should resume training over the weekend."
